"Years ago, these same concerns and policies were announced at other Poser web sites: Animotions and PoserPros for example. Those sites are still around." - Bobbie_Boucher

Kind of, and yes, they are. In the case of Animotions, it had nothing to do with PayPal: we wanted a site where the kidlets like my godkids could also go and discuss 3D, Gaming, and Comics, so we instituted a PG-17 policy almost from the beginning. We had to make an announcement a bit later to the effect that "Yes, we really did mean this". Concerns on stuff like the "Big Three"'s view on fanart were a long ways down the list: we don't get any money from them, they're not sponsors, and they're not involved in our business. Renderocity has a slightly different concern here: PayPal is heavily involved in both Rendo's business model and in Rendo's merchant and customer monetary situation. Tim and Tammy have to devote some thought to that in their busienss model: at any given time, Renderosity has hundreds or maybe thousands of dolars tied up in PayPal transfers in the form of customer payments, and payments to merchants. If they don't make it a concern, it's not just Tim and Tammy Chaote's bank account that gets hurt, it is also the accounts of the merchants and customers who suddenly have their monies frozen for 180 days or more. AND those customers and merchants won't be yelling at PayPal primarily: they'll be yelling at Tim, Tammy, and ClintH. ;)
